Getting "Could not find curses error" while installing mariadb from mariadbserver in ubuntu

I am installing MariaDB in my ubuntu based on the following readme file.

My ubuntu version is 22.04 and I am using the MariaDB branch 11.0. I have followed the starting the steps and they are running perfectly fine.

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mariadb.list

After that I put the contents in the contents in this file and run the following commands which executed perfectly fine.

  sudo apt-get install software-properties-common \
  devscripts \
  equivs \
  curl \
  git
  sudo apt-get build-dep mariadb-server

After that I run those commands and that run also fine.

sudo curl -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc 
'https://mariadb.org/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc'
sudo apt-get update

Then came the Build part

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/{your-username}/maria-server
mkdir ~/maria-server-build
mkdir ~/maria-server-data
cd ~/maria-server-build

After that when I run this command then it is giving me an error.

cmake ~/maria-server/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

The error is as follows:

-- Wsrep-lib version: 1.0.0
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
Could NOT find Curses (missing: CURSES_LIBRARY CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:594 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)

cmake/readline.cmake:55 (FIND_PACKAGE)
cmake/readline.cmake:185 (FIND_CURSES)
CMakeLists.txt:389 (MYSQL_CHECK_READLINE)

I don't get it if any package is missing or something.

UPDATE: I have now installed some missing packages through this command.

sudo apt install libncurses-dev

But now I am getting a little different errors.

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake- 
3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):

I'm not familiar with this build in particular, but generally it would indicate a missing `libncurses-dev` package

Can you tell me the command by which this can be resolved

`sudo apt install libncurses-dev`

I have tried this command too, but still getting errors

Are you still getting *the same* errors, or different ones?

The errors are a little different now and I have added that in the question

so you probably need to install the GNU TLS development package (libgnutls28-dev) as well

The errors were changed when I used this command.

sudo apt install libncurses-dev

The errors which come when I change this command are as follows:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake- 
3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
Could NOT find GnuTLS (missing: GNUTLS_LIBRARY GNUTLS_INCLUDE_DIR)
(Required is at least version "3.3.24")
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:594

/usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindGnuTLS.cmake:68 
(FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
libmariadb/CMakeLists.txt:336 (FIND_PACKAGE)

So, when I used this command this error has been resolved

sudo apt-get install gnutls-dev

After that, I was getting errors related to bison. So, I installed the bison at the end and the error has been resolved.

sudo apt-get install flex bison

After that error has been resolved and I build the MariaDB successfully using this command.

cmake ~/maria-server/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
